CONCLUSION Our results were: most subjects would report feeling uncomfortable, nervous, tense, as if there was something wrong with them. There were a lot of people laughing, most of them nervously.

If it was someone we knew they would feel less uncomfortable than people who didn’t. There were the small percentage of people who knew what we were doing. A different response came from people sitting in groups and alone, the lone subject would get anxious very fast, while a group would start asking questions and laughing. Triggering the bystander effect.
